Long story short, I smoked the clutch, and now I dont have one. I can't get to the top four bolts on the bellhousing. Theres barely any room up there to get my fingers, much less any sort of wrench. I tried going through the shift lever hole, but thats about a foot too far back, and I wouldn't be able to get the socket and the many many extentions to line up with the bolts. How is the best way to get to those bolts? Its kinda cold (low 30's, un heated shop with a cold, cold concrete floor) and my hands don't work well with cold. So I'M looking for the fastest and easyest way to do this.
Help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Oh yeah, and HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
